77 Washington Place (New York City, New York)

 apartment building, Greek Revival (architecture), 1840s construction

5-story Greek-revival residential building completed in 1844 as a 4-story townhouse for John Warren. The facade is painted pale red, with three bays of windows. It has been modernized with a basement entrance replacing the original stoop, and the attic raised to provide a studio window. The new windows of the top floor are set between pilasters; the other windows have stone sills and metal cornices. The roof treatment suggests a pitched roof above the deeply modillioned cornice flanked by pseudo-chimneys terminating the high side walls. The stone entrance doorway has a round-arched hood supported by a pair of carved console brackets. There are wrought-iron grilles over the basement windows, and a wrought-iron railing around the areaway.
